Which person decided to domesticate that thing. Just like âhey I found this weird looking grass fruit wanna enslave itâ and chiefâs like âhell yeah of course I wanna enslave it!â and then they just ate increasingly beady grass for a few thousand years
Wrong, the grass enslaved humanity. It was like âI hear wheat is doing well, I wanna get a hominid slave species that will protect me from pests and propagate my genetic line whilst literally clearing away all competing plants for miles.â
And corn got their slaves, and as the plant relaxed over successive generations they grew more bready and delicious because the only predator eating them was also ensuring their monocrop dominance so get fat and whatever who cares!
You need to stop, youâre too corny for anyone too like you, and honestly when you showed everyone cream corn at the family gathering it was not what anyone wanted to see, and really pop corn? Nobody should ever want pop corn. Anyway if you really like corn you can have it at home, but not while weâre eating out.

They just realized it was edible, thought to save some to plant, and then the big idea was whenever they realized they should save the biggest ones to replant
